![Kaliakra (Bulgarian: Калиакра) is a long and narrow headland in the Southern Dobruja region of the northern Bulgarian Black Sea Coast, 12 kilometers (7 mi) east of Kavarna, 60 kilometres (37 mi) northeast of Varna and 65 kilometers (40 mi) southwest of Mangalia. The coast is steep with vertical cliffs reaching 70 meters (230 ft) down to the sea.[1] Kaliakra is a nature reserve, where dolphins and cormorants can be observed. It sits on the Via Pontica, a major bird migration route from Africa into Eastern and Northern Europe. Many rare and migrant birds can be seen here in spring and autumn and, like much of this coastline, is home to several rare breeding birds (e.g. pied wheatear and a local race of European shag). The rest of the reserve also has unusual breeding birds; saker falcon, lesser gray shrike and a host of others.\n\nIt also features the remnants of the fortified walls, water-main, baths and residence of Despot Dobrotitsa in the short-lived Principality of Karvuna's medieval capital.[1] The Bolata Cove with a small sheltered beach lies just north at the mouth of a picturesque canyon, also part of the nature reserve.](https://media.istockphoto.com/id/1279155695/photo/cape-kaliakra-bulgaraia.jpg?b=1&s=612x612&w=0&k=20&c=h5oU8TcvFt2a0aqRqDxXzOK8zuRx6VUM0Uo_3lMQQLs=)
